129 Strange Patient
Bei Shuo removed her fingers from the patient’s wrist and looked at her face. It was hard to tell how old she was. She was a thin woman who had been tortured by her illness. However, she could still tell that she was a beautiful woman. Her gaze was cold and dull, and she did not seem to be very sensitive to the outside world.
Bei Shuo stared at her in a daze.
“Bei Shuo?” Dr. Li called her name softly.
Bei Shuo turned around and looked at Dr. Li calmly.
Dr. Li tilted his head and gestured for them to leave. He then turned around and led Bei Shuo out of the ward.
“How’s her pulse?”
Bei Shuo lowered her eyes and thought carefully before saying, “From the pulse, it seems to be obstructed. It seems like there’s internal fire, but it also seems to be extremely cold. Teacher, I’ve never seen such a complicated pulse. I wonder what illness this patient has.”
When Bei Shuo looked up again, her face was filled with curiosity.
Dr. Li’s gaze landed on her face. He wished he could look through this girl’s skin and see her bone structure like an X-ray. “Is that so? Have you never seen such a patient?”
Bei Shuo shook her head. “I’ve never seen anyone like her before, but I’ve seen someone similar.”
“Oh?” Dr. Li raised his eyebrows and waited for Bei Shuo to continue.
Bei Shuo looked back at Dr. Li calmly. “My family member’s pulse is similar to this patient’s, but they’re not exactly the same. My family member has a leg problem and can’t walk.”
“Then how did your family member treat it?” Dr. Li asked anxiously.
Bei Shuo looked at him and smiled. “Teacher Li, how did you know that my family member had been cured?”
Dr. Li knew that he had misspoken and felt a little awkward. “You don’t look worried. I think it’s a good thing.”
Bei Shuo nodded. “I didn’t expect Teacher to be so meticulous. That’s right. My family member’s legs are much better now. He can walk for a while and is recovering. The method I used isn’t complicated. Acupuncture. Teacher Li, have you tried it on this patient?”
“Oh? You know acupuncture?” Dr. Li asked.
“Yes, I’ve been learning for a few years,” Bei Shuo replied bluntly.
Dr. Li’s gaze deepened as he looked at her. After a moment, he said, “I’ll hand this patient to you. You can treat her using your method. Are you willing?”
Bei Shuo was slightly taken aback. “Isn’t this against the rules?”
Dr. Li smiled. “Rules are dead, but people are alive. Moreover, a doctor has to have the heart for a parent. In this patient’s case, the worst case scenario is death. If the method is used correctly, perhaps she still has a chance of survival?”
Bei Shuo bit her lip and nodded at Dr. Li. “Alright, I’ll give it a try!”
Dr. Li looked at her and smiled meaningfully. “I believe you. You can definitely do it. You’re the most promising student I’ve met in so many years!”
“You flatter me,” Bei Shuo replied humbly.
Dr. Li looked back at the ward. “Even if your family is well-educated, you can’t treat the patient independently. Therefore, every time you come, you have to come with me. You can’t act alone.”
Bei Shuo nodded.
Dr. Li seemed to be very satisfied with her attitude. “Alright, send me your plan as soon as possible.”
Bei Shuo walked out of the school gate with heavy steps. When she saw the familiar car parked in its usual spot, she quickened her pace.
The chauffeur jumped out of the car and came over to guard the door for her.
When she saw Mu Ci sitting inside, Bei Shuo immediately threw away all the questions in her mind and got into the car to apologize. “Have you been waiting for me for a long time? I’m sorry, Brother Stone.”
Mu Ci reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear and said gently, “It won’t be long. Go ahead and do your thing. I won’t affect my work no matter where I am, so I won’t delay anything just because I picked you up. You don’t have to blame yourself.”
Bei Shuo hugged one of his arms happily. “I knew it! Brother treats me the best! The best!”
Mu Ci admitted that at this moment, his heart was filled with happiness. Other than happiness, there was nothing else.
“Are you hungry?” Mu Ci asked gently.
Bei Shuo immediately sat up straight and nodded heavily. “I’m hungry! I’m so hungry that I’m going to bite someone! If you give me an entire cow now, I can finish it all!”
Mu Ci smiled. “Okay, shall we find an entire cow to eat?”
Bei Shuo could be considered an experienced glutton. When she heard this, she immediately smiled happily.
After a long time, she remembered to ask, “Brother, how are you today? Are you tired? Are you angry?”
Mu Ci shook his head. “How can that be? With Bei Shuo, I won’t be angry anymore. Even if there’s anything unhappy, it will disappear when I see Bei Shuo.”
It was a pity that such pleasant words were not understood.
